How Much Fun is a Leaf Blower?

The answer to that is too much fun!!! 

Omer decided to use the leaf blower to handle the full yard of leaves. The boys really really enjoyed this activity. Enjoyed running through the pile of blowing leaves, having the leaves blown at the them and being blown away on the swings. 

























For the front yard I used the old method of raking and the boys made leaf angels.





Then I made a huge pile and Owen wanted to ride his bike through it. He was successful with the smaller one but this one he fell over into.


Chester seriously loves raking leaves. He rolls in the leaves and then chooses to sit in the pile.




 There is the Callie blur running through the leaves. 

 But she is a good girl and sat for me and Chester to get a leaf pile picture. My cute little pups!

School Fun, Silly Friends, Leaves and Beardy

Aiden's preschool acknowledged fire safety month with a fire truck and fireman. This is one of Aiden's favorite special activities. 

Full Gear Fireman

Aiden is the one with the green shirt and floppy dalmatian ears

Lucky Bears with the Truck

While the younger ones were at a birthday party, the Owen's and dads had a play date. Ninja was played a lot. 



While I was out for a hike, I mentioned it would be great to take down the Halloween decorations and set up for Thanksgiving. I came back to the boys building their own scarecrow. Love it!

Aiden wanted to building a pumpkin patch. How cute!

For most of the month it has been wonderful Fall weather, and we enjoyed a family walk. We are amazed at how grown Aiden has been looking and Omer enjoyed taking some cute shots of him at the gazebo looking even more like a big boy.


 While Owen is at school Aiden and I enjoy some interesting play. This morning he wanted to set up a scene of bad guys and then we captured them all. We did it over and over, and have to say it was fun.


Look at big Beardy has gotten!!!

Aiden and I started the great rake up, we have a lot of trees. His job was to jump and play in the piles.



Chester loves this season and enjoys the warm spot

Aiden and I enjoyed the warm weather with a little time in the sand.

While Callie herded clouds and Chester watched on....


Beardy has only been outside of his tank in Owen's room, but today we decided to let him play in the kid's playroom. He and the boys had a blast. He really ran around all over the room.






This is what happens when Christmas (head and nose), Thanksgiving (necklace) and Halloween (mouth) meet.

My camera did a horrible job but this is Aiden during the celebration for Veteran's day. Aiden is in the blue shirt third from left.

Along with our buddies Owen and Sadie we headed to the farm. After visiting the animals and playground we took a walk to the waterfalls. The kiddos loved it!


Owen had found some twine and Aiden put it on as a leash for Sadie to walk him. Yes these two play puppy a lot.

I got to go to Owen's class for his Thanksgiving meal. They drew a picture and told us what they were thankful for. Surprise Owen is thankful for his lizard. Then they sang two songs and then headed for Thanksgiving lunch, which was Subway for us.
